I applied the 1'st time for Amex cards on June 21'st, for the Starwood & Premier rewards gold, (Of course through Dan's links, like i always do)
They send me letters on both asking me for an official letterhead from my bank confirming my address, which i sent them, then again, i received letters they can't verify my banker's signature, so i should have my banker call them from her "official" place of work. finally i got approved now.
Of course, i called them asking for the 30,000 points offer instead of the 25,000, (at the time i applied it wasn't even available then)
The rep made me sound like i'm asking her to give me the brooklyn bridge for free, but in the end she did me the biggest favor to send it for an investigation on how i ended up with this promo instead of that.
But she also revealed to me the code for the 30K promo, which i would like to share here:
